Please treat ypurself by watching the u/20 world cup and keeping a keen eye on a extremely talented midfielder who is in the South African team. He plays for 1 of the 2 big teams in South Africa, Orlando Pirates and in a matter of a couple games managed to win the hearts of not only the Pirates supporters, but of the whole nation. He is a marvel to watch, there is no player i can compare him with, he is extremely unique and has a style of football never seen before. Just keep qn eye out for him when South Africa plays. jus look for the smallest player in the midfield whos causing all the havoc for opposition teams. What a breath of fresh air for World Football.
